1. LD 1v1 Ladder, Season XIII Settings
2. 2v2 Ladder of Two Templates: Old 2v2 ladder template + Current template (double the # of wastelands)
3. Europe 3v3 0% WR, random move order (so I have time to play with my alts)
4. Bring back the old 1v1 ladder...as a RT Ladder!
5. Vacation boots happen an hour after the vacation ends...missing by 15 minutes hurts
6. Optional flags: I do not want to represent Taiwan.
7. Free coin transfers from player to player.
8. Interactive forum: like/dislike posts, blacklist of posts/threads by people you dislike, other
9. Optional coin side bets for all "no-luck" ladder games
10. Free (daily/weekly/monthly?) coins (instead of points) for being #1 in a ladder

How can you be from Taiwan when Taiwan doesn't exist?

I like #10.

#10 would make only stalling super attractive. on the other ones i can widely agree

Taiwan is the geographic name of the island.

To prevent stalling, just change the boot limit to 1d10h for #1 place.

but Taiwan isn't a country. Can I also make up a country and get my own flag?

Oh boy, now I'm excited. Let me think of my own country and flag quickly and I'll get back to you.

@Nogals:

- Is Palestine a country?
- Was USA a country July 4th, 1776 - September 2nd, 1783?
- Is Scotland a country?

Taiwan has a more organized government than Vatican City, which is considered a country. Just because the Chinese Nationalists lost the civil war and fled to Taiwan (Republic of China), doesn't mean they don't exist.

Anyway:

Ladders are made to be competitive. The 1v1 ladder, before you got ranked, was the weakest it has been that I've ever seen. Arkanton topped it with 2120s. I remember you had to be 2120 to ever be in the top 5 or even top 10! I propose these changes:

- Keep the 1v1 Ladder/Pick Lottery.
- Make Knyte's Strat ME 0%WR CLOT official (Just put it on the ladder page).
- Add the following templates to 2v2 Ladder:
     - Guiroma 2v2
     - Szeurope 2v2
     - Old 2v2 Ladder with 0%SR
     - Final Earth with 4 Picks and 8 Wastelands
     - China 2v2
- Fix the RT Ladder, it is utterly disgusting now with the new ladder changes.
     - China ✔
     - Treasure Map ✔
     - Season I ✔
     - Season III/EA&O ✖ - 0%SR/0%WR
     - Season VII ✖ - Big bonuses are OP
     - Season IV ✖ - Switch this with Season XXI because Season IV is used on 1v1 Ladder.
     - Season XII ✔ a lot of people hate LD, but deal with it, variety.
     - Season XIV ✔
     - Guiroma ✔
     - Strat Greece ✔
     - Add 10+ more

It's sad when I have made templates that are better than some of these. If ladders are supposed to be competitive, why do we use such awful settings? Fizzer says "Removing Luck is a trend in Warlight", then why is Season III not replaced with something BETTER (not just 0%SR), like Gnuffone's Season III (I don't have the link).

I agree on all apart from last. On 3., I would like attack-only to be added to the template as well.

umm Noglas Taiwan is a country. China just says they own it, just like how Taiwan says they own China.

why is China three countries again?

I agree with changes to RT ladder (although I want LD out too)

ROC (Taiwan): both de jure and de facto statehood.

1. Borders? Yes. All clearly defined, aside from their ridiculous claims in the South China Sea.
2. Legitimate government? Yes. Free and fair elections since about 1990 or so, including a peaceful transfer of power from one party to another.
3. Official currency? Yes.
4. Military? Yes.
5. Rule of law? Yes, unlike most countries in the world. Random shootings certainly don't happen here, unlike in the US or South Africa. More people died from gun violence in Chicago in the past ten years than the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq.
6. Official recognition? Sort of, if 23 mostly small, weak Caribbean and African states count.
7. Tacit recognition? Yes. Whenever Taiwan is officialy recognized by major states, their unofficial embassies and consulates will simply change their names and become official. Taiwan has unofficial embassies all over the world.
8. Controlled by China? Not at all.

What more is needed to be a state?

Taiwan is a country.
They have capital,not „main city“ like for example Greenland.

Finally no mardi gras thoughts coming from Qi , but intilligent talk. Only the way he had going from unserious to serious surprises me.

let's not forget to wish for peace on earth.

I remember that fizzer mentioned once that bets on players (like in 9.) about money is not legal in the US.

@Benjamin -
Surely the reason #1 was only 2120 is bc the ladder is harder than ever. Ergo harder to get a higher rank.

@Cao Cao, it's either that, or it's because the best players aren't playing the ladder due to not liking the settings. I know that dead piggy, master of desaster, Master of the Dead, and Timinator left as soon as the settings changed.
